What Is Breast Augmentation? Banner

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, also known as a boob job, is a cosmetic procedure that aims to increase the size, shape, or fullness of breasts through the insertion of implants or natural fat transfer. Breast implants come in different shapes and sizes to help women attain their desired appearance. The implants may be round or teardrop-shaped to create a more natural breast contour. Augmentation with natural fat is done in a different way and has its own advantages.

Types of Breast Augmentation

Implants
Dr. Mordkovich offers patients a wide range of options for breast augmentation. The main choice is between saline or silicone implants. 
We also offer innovative “gummy bear” implants that provide some unique advantages. Here is a more detailed description of each of these types:
Silicone implants have revolutionized breast augmentation over the past few decades. They consist of an elastic outer shell filled with a thick silicone gel. These implants come in a variety of sizes and profiles to suit different body types and desired results. The silicone has a texture that is similar to natural breast tissue. The implants are inserted through small incisions during surgery and gradually settle into place over the first few months. Because they hold their shape while retaining softness and flexibility, silicone implants offer women a great way to increase breast size and achieve natural-looking
Saline implants have been used for breast augmentation since the 1960s. They are composed of a silicone elastomer shell filled with sterile salt water. The saline filler is similar to the fluid that makes up most of the human body, so even if the implant shell ruptures, the water will be harmlessly absorbed by the body. These implants are inserted empty and then filled to the appropriate volume once they are in position. This allows the surgeon to adjust the size more precisely to achieve the desired results. While saline implants carry certain risks, they remain a popular option for breast augmentation due to their natural feel and affordability.
This is a type of silicone implant with a more cohesive gel that holds its shape like the actual gummy candy. It has the form of a teardrop and retains a natural slope and shape much better. The cohesive gel makes it less likely to ripple or wrinkle. The risk of rupture in “gummy bear” implants is very low compared to saline ones. They also have some drawbacks, such as high cost and scarring from larger incisions needed during surgery. Nevertheless, “gummy bear” implants are currently the most appealing option for the majority of patients considering breast surgery.

Natural fat transfer (fat grafting) is a technique that uses the patient’s own tissue to enhance breast size. During this procedure, fat is removed from another part of the body, typically the thighs or abdomen, using liposuction. The harvested material is then processed and carefully injected into the breasts to increase volume and improve contour. The main advantage of this method is that it does not require implants. Recovery time is also faster. While some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed, most of the volume enhancement remains permanent. This method can increase breasts by no more than 1 cup size.

Consultation & Preparation for Breast Augmentation Banner

Consultation & Preparation for Breast Augmentation

Preparation for breast augmentation surgery begins with a consultation. During the appointment, the patient meets with Dr. Mordkovich to discuss their goals for surgery, review medical history, have a breast exam, and learn about different implant options to choose the right size and type. Dr. Mordkovich is very attentive and considerate. He takes the time to deeply understand the patient’s needs and expectations. Using our 3D plastic surgery simulation software by Crisalix®, he shows each person the potential results they can achieve based on their anatomy and aesthetic goals.

After agreeing on all specifics, Dr. Mordkovich gives pre-operative instructions to help patients prepare for breast augmentation. Here are some of the tips:

  • Arrange transportation home for the day of surgery

  • Stock up on recovery supplies, such as ice packs, pillows, and comfortable clothing

  • Make arrangements for help with daily tasks during the initial recovery period

  • Stop smoking for a month before and after surgery

  • Take time off work or school to allow for proper rest and healing

  • Set up a comfortable recovery area at home with items within easy reach

  • Fill prescriptions for post-operative medications

  • Arrange childcare help during the recovery period if needed

Awake Anesthesia

Dr. Modkovich performs breast surgeries under local anesthesia without sedation to keep the patient awake and comfortable. We inject lidocaine or other local anesthetic to numb the treated area. It blocks pain signals during the operation while allowing the patient to remain conscious.

Dr. Mordkovich uses one of the three incision techniques based on the patient’s anatomy and goals:

Inframammary: an opening is made underneath the breast in the fold. This allows direct access to create the implant pocket.

Periareolar: an incision is placed along the edge of the areola. This technique provides greater control over implant positioning. The scars are almost invisible because they are hidden in the pigmented area of the areola.

The implant pocket is created above or below the pectoral muscle. The subglandular technique positions the pocket between the breast tissue and the muscle, which provides more upper breast fullness. The submuscular method puts the pocket underneath the pectoral muscle so the edges of the implant are less visible.

Once the pocket has been created, the space is irrigated, and the silicone or saline implant is inserted into that place and properly positioned.
Dissolvable sutures are used to close the incisions in multiple layers to promote safe healing with minimal scarring. Skin adhesive and surgical tape provide external closure.
Add-On Procedure: Breast Lift Banner

Add-On Procedure: Breast Lift

A breast lift (mastopexy) can help women with sagging or uneven breasts, which may occur after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. During a mastopexy, Dr. Mordkovich removes excess skin and repositions the nipple higher on the breast, creating a more youthful contour and profile. When combined with augmentation, a lift can improve breast size, shape, and perkiness in one surgery.

Recovery After Breast Augmentation Surgery

Recovery from breast augmentation usually takes several weeks. The breasts will be swollen, sore, and bruised for the first few days, but we will prescribe pain medication and muscle relaxants to help manage discomfort during this initial period. Dr. Mordkovich will also recommend wearing a support bra or elastic bandage to reduce symptoms and support the breasts as they heal. Many patients are able to return to light, desk-based work within a few days after surgery. However, it takes 2-4 weeks before more strenuous physical activities can be resumed. The incision sites will continue healing for several months. Over time, swelling will go away, and sensation in the breasts will return to normal. During follow-up appointments, Dr. Mordkovich will monitor the recovery progress and the patient’s adjustment to their new breast size. While complications are rare, it is important to watch for signs of infection, excessive bleeding, or issues with the implants and report them promptly to the doctor.
